You are being ridiculous. india has among the lowest ticket prices(I think average is < $2). despite that it hit $1.4B last year.Hollywood marketshare is low as there are so many local languages. They prefer local movies to hollywood without china like protection. That IMO is the right way to do things.http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/global-box-office-china-international-growth-326-303324

At least they have the priorities right :POn a serious note he must be using his smart phone.

time period is definitely a factor. But 15 years is not short. Especially with 10 releases. You dont need to be there for 40 years to be among all time greats.

I think he will get there for sure. Its not even debatable. He has proven over a decade now and he is still very young. I am sure with another 2-3 movies he will be rated among all time greats.Does that mean he will convince everyone. Probably not. But general perception among critics and audience will be there for sure.

That is being too optimistic. Domestic will probably happen. But OS seems bit too optimistic looking at the holds. its not making 15M more after 1.1M weekend in Japan even with summer weekdays and Obon week coming up. its holds in major markets are not good enough to make 30M from the rest. I would say 50M more from existing markets WW plus china. I am not even predicting china until we know the release date of TDKR.

I dont see ASm number being great. How on earth it can make 50M from this point even with great weekdays and Obon week. its week to week drops are not good enough to do that. I am thinking 40-45M finish.TDKR we need to wait for its 2nd weekend before predicting the total. But its ratings in Japanese sites are promising. Anyway its going to make lot more than TDK.Edit: I just saw ASM total at $37.3m. So it should make 45M+ for sure.

Not great but olympics definitely softened the weekend. We have to see how next weekend is.it will need 125M+ in china to hit 700M.

I think olympics also played a factor this weekend. Even TDKR numbers are soft. It should have good hold next weekend.

is this 4 day or 5 day number for TDKR.

BTW I see some data at insidekino http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.insidekino.com/DTop10/12/DTop12JUN28.htm%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dubuntu%26hs%3DhVn%26channel%3Dfs%26prmd%3Dimvns&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=de&twu=1&u=http://www.insidekino.com/News.htm&usg=ALkJrhj9xk3WuAtdS90PoVinCmo_CeqqBw

if you take out the previews its like 2.14M. I thought that is not enough to hit 10M. it will barely fall short. But Juni will probably know the ideal multi for TDKR.BTW what is the OD for inception.

that is not that great. I doubt it hits 10M with that OD number. Isn't OD to weekend like 4.5x at best.

ConneryCraigBrosnanDaltonLazenbyMooreWhile I liked some of the moore movies when I was young, dont care for his portrayal at all. Lazenby had potential but got the wrong advice from his agent. Dalton acted well in so-so movies. I wish he had better director support. Brosnan had a great start with Goldeneye but his movies got worse(Die Another Day was awful). I wish he was able to play bond 1st time around(during Remington Steele days). He would have beaten Connery as longest playing bond.Craig has brought something unique to bond. CR was simply fantastic while QOS was mediocre. I am having high hopes for Skyfall based on what I have seen so far.Connery is the epitome of bond. Both movies and his portrayal are in the league of themselves. I simply love his 1st 4-5 movies. Especially From Russia/Goldfinger/Thunderball.

Do we have any OD/thursday numbers from Germany. I thought they track BO very closely.

Hopefully Junikr posts a big number for TDKR. I am hoping for double digit OW.

I am sure it will release. its too big to be set aside. WB will ensure it for sure. I think this has 100M+ potential in china.

My bad.you are always posting next to him and I get your names mixed up.

That is great but I am not sure anecdotal evidence is sufficient to extrapolate. But good legs in japan is given. That market is fundamentally leggy with 2 day weekends. Plus being summer weekdays are bigger than weekends. Key thing is OW.

I dont believe believe firedeep. Variety/HR reported its ready for release. Only dates need to be finalized. Until I read other I will believe its releasing. Xiayun also stated nothing has changed. Greece/Portugal etc are dead. I dont see anything doing well in those markets.

I think outside UK/Australia, it will increase everywhere. TDK was not big anywhere outside those 2 countries. I think USD gross of TDK is possible in Australia. But UK would be tough though the start is solid. I think olympics will hit it.

So outside Spain its doing great. I think few other european markets will also be mediocre for sure.

Variety/HR already confirmed TDKR release just late last week. I am told approval is done. Just finalizing dates. WB wants it moved after 8/30.

I agree it is dead. it will have serious impact on walk ins.Weird that while this will affect its domestic BO negatively, it will actually help its OS BO big time. Awareness will shoot big time in markets where it was low key.Anyway I dont care much at this point. It was a great film and this tragedy ensures there are bigger things in life than BO.

I agree. Even Bane did not have much screen time in the 2nd half.One scene with talia. Otherwise it was all about Bruce, Blake and Gordon.

I absolutely loved this one. To me its all about nolan. What a great journey he took through in the trilogy. I thought this was way more emotional than TDK or BB. Bale was at its best. So many great scenes with Bane, Selina, Ras, Fox, Blake and the last scene with Gordon. Even though there was no performance matching ledger's joker, I thought everyone aced their roles. Anne was fantastic and carried the movie with Bane in the 1st half(Bruce IMO took over the 2nd half).Technically this was great. Regarding action Nolan is getting better with every film.Also this has the greatest climax I have ever seen.I cant wait to see it again. So does my wife.
